But, I'm assuming that this is in regards to people protesting the new gun laws/restrictions? If that's the case, then I will say that you have a right to your opinion on the matter, and they have a right to theirs.

I think it's ridiculous. Nobody is trying to take away all the guns. They are just trying to make the most dangerous ones that nobody has any business owning, not available...and I agree with it. The 2nd amendment needs to be updated to reflect current technology. The 1st amendment has rules and stuff against it. Slander, censorship, defamation of character, etc. Why is the 2nd amendment exempt?

Just as strongly as you feel about the subject, others feel equally as strongly in the other direction-- as is their right. They should be allowed to protest without people calling them "crazy ass rednecks" and saying that you feel sorry for their children.

And it would be really helpful if the link worked.

The link works now. I do feel sorry for their children. They will be forced to learn how to fire guns regardless of whether they want to or not. Not everybody wants to shoot guns and they shouldn't be made to.

You are making gross generalizations. You have no idea if these children are being made to shoot firearms or not, or if they want to learn or not. You are assuming facts that you do not know.

Did you even look at the link? I am not making any generalizations. This is taken directly from their "patriot agreement" EVERY able-bodied child 13 and older will be made to shoot a gun.

Two: Every able-bodied Patriot aged 13 and older governed by
this Agreement shall annually demonstrate proficiency with the rifle of
his/her choice by hitting a man-sized steel target at 100 yards with
open sights at the Citadel range. Each Resident shall have 10 shots and
must hit the target at least 7 times.

There's more. All of their "rules" or whatever is basically about firearms. It's insane. I don't see it every happening.

Citadel Patriot Agreement

Patriots: The following represents a voluntary set of
conditions to which every single Patriot who accepts a residence in the
Citadel must agree, in writing. This is a voluntary Agreement. The
Citadel is a martial endeavor designed to protect Residents in times of
peril (natural or man-made). The Citadel will be built as a fortified
bastion of Liberty. The Citadel is not the best housing solution for
everyone. Read carefully.

The purpose of this agreement is two-fold. Firstly, it informs all
Residents of their obligations to their fellow Patriots. Secondly, this
Agreement will assist individuals/families in making an informed
decision to opt-out of residency in the Citadel Community in the event
our lifestyle is incompatible with you and/or your family.

Preamble: We the People come together in this covenant of
our free will and do pledge our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor
to defend one another and Jefferson's Rightful Liberty, defined as
unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us
by the equal rights of others. We further affirm our intent to abide
all Constitutional laws of the United States of America and our State of
residence.

One: Once ratified, this list of conditions may only be
altered by unanimous consent of all parties governed by this Agreement,
i.e. full-time Residents. Full-time residency will be defined by a
select panel of full-time Residents who will also establish guidelines
for acceptable exceptions for absences.

Two: Every able-bodied Patriot aged 13 and older governed by
this Agreement shall annually demonstrate proficiency with the rifle of
his/her choice by hitting a man-sized steel target at 100 yards with
open sights at the Citadel range. Each Resident shall have 10 shots and
must hit the target at least 7 times.

Three: Every able-bodied Patriot aged 13 and older governed
by this Agreement shall annually demonstrate proficiency with a handgun
of choice by hitting a man-sized steel target at 25 yards with open
sights at the Citadel range. Each Resident shall have 10 shots and must
hit the target at least 7 times.

Four: Every able-bodied Patriot of age within the Citadel
will maintain one AR15 variant in 5.56mm NATO, at least 5 magazines and
1,000 rounds of ammunition. The responsibility for maintaining
functional arms and ammunition levels for every member of the household
shall fall to the head of household. Every able-bodied Patriot will be
responsible for maintaining a Tactical Go Bag or Muster Kit to satisfy
the Minuteman concept. Details TBD and posted elsewhere.

Five: Every household within the Citadel will remain stocked
with sufficient food, water, and other preparedness essentials (to be
detailed elsewhere) to sustain the needs for every member of the
household for a duration of one year.

Six: Every able-bodied Patriot aged 13 and older shall pass a
class every three years sponsored by the Citadel on basic emergency
medical care; the courses shall focus on battlefield and wilderness
environments.

Seven: Every child attending Citadel schools — with parental
discretion for maturity — shall have as part of every semester's class
curriculum basic marksmanship and firearms safety training leading to
the proficiency test on the child's 13th birthday as a "Coming of Age"
rite of passage (a parent may attend the classes or personally train the
child if so desired). Children attending schools beyond the Citadel, or
home-schooled, are required to meet the same proficiency standards at
age 13.

Eight: All Patriots, who are of age and are not legally
restricted from bearing firearms, shall agree to remain armed with a
loaded sidearm whenever visiting the Citadel Town Center. Firearm shall
be on-the-person and under the control of the Resident, not merely
stored in a vehicle.

Nine: Each household will provide ONE able-bodied Patriot
(aged 13 or older) who shall muster one Saturday per month for
Martial/Support Training for neighborhood-level training & musters,
as set forth by the Militia Commanders of the Community. No single
Patriot shall be required to muster more than once per quarter. In the
course of every calendar year every able-bodied Patriot and every
full-time resident in each household must participate in at least three
musters (one neighborhood-level and two full-scale). Part-time
residents must participate, in good faith, to the best of their ability.

Ten: Twice annually a full-scale Town Defense Drill will be held for all households and all residents (once in winter weather & once in summer weather).

Eleven: The Town Militia will hold an award/recognition ceremony on April 19th each year to celebrate Patriot's Day.

Twelve: Violations of this Agreement will result in review by
an arbitration panel consisting of Citadel Residents with appropriate
and proportional disciplinary action taken. The most severe
disciplinary action may include the loss of Lease and expulsion from the
community.

Thirteen: All Citadel Citizens agree to accept dispute
resolution by an arbitration panel in the event a problem that cannot be
resolved between residents.
